Abstract: An electronic module for controlling a motor includes a module housing having a bottom surface located along a plane, a plurality of walls; a printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the module housing substantially parallel to the bottom surface; and power terminals formed at least partially within the module housing and coupled to the PCB. Each power terminal comprises a first portion that is molded into the bottom surface and extends outside the module housing along the plane through of one of the plurality of walls for electric coupling to a power wire extending from the motor, and a second portion that extends substantially perpendicularly to the plane out of the bottom surface and into the module housing and is received into an opening of the PCB for electric coupling to the PCB.

Abstract: An electronic module for controlling a motor includes a module housing including a bottom surface, walls, and an open face, a printed circuit board (PCB) arranged along a plane within the module housing; a plurality of power terminals; and a plurality of power switches mounted on the PCB to switchably connect a supply of electric power from a power source to the plurality of power terminals. The plurality of power terminals includes first portions projecting outside the module housing through one of the walls along a direction substantially parallel to the plane for coupling to a plurality of wires couplable to the motor, and second portions extending substantially perpendicularly to the plane and electrically contacting the PCB.

Abstract: A power tool includes a housing including a motor case and a handle; a motor disposed within the motor case and having motor lead wires; a battery receiving portion provided on an end of the handle configured to receive a removable battery pack; a control unit configured to receive electric power form the battery pack and output power wires; and a wire guide and retention unit disposed within the handle. The wire guide and retention unit includes a main body and ring terminals fastened to the main body. The ring terminals couple with the motor lead wires on one end and with the power wires on another end.

Abstract: A microelectronic structure having CTE compensation for use in wafer-level and chip-scale packages, comprising a plurality of substrate tiles each having a generally planar upper surface, the upper surfaces of the tiles disposed within a common plane to provide a generally planar grid of the tiles, each respective pair of adjacent tiles having a gap disposed therebetween.

Abstract: CTE compensation for wafer-level and chip-scale packages and assemblies.

Abstract: A system and methods for real-time model based vehicle structural anomaly detection are disclosed. A real-time measurement corresponding to a location on a vehicle structure during an operation of the vehicle is received, and the real-time measurement is compared to expected operation data for the location to provide a modeling error signal. A statistical significance of the modeling error signal to provide an error significance is calculated, and a persistence of the error significance is determined. A structural anomaly is indicated, if the persistence exceeds a persistence threshold value.

Abstract: A method of preventing failed field replaceable units (FRUs) directly connected to an interprocessor bus or fabric from interfering with the operation of a computer system during concurrent maintenance operations. When a FRU fails a concurrent maintenance operation, the service processor stores identification information corresponding to the failed FRU in an alert fail registry or a hot add fail registry and reports the failure status to a user. When a user attempts to perform a new concurrent maintenance operation on a FRU, the service processor compares that FRU to the alert fail registry or the hot add fail registry. If a concurrent maintenance operation on the requested FRU would cause a system crash due to interference with the failed FRU, the service processor notifies the repair and verify application (which notifies the user) and prevents concurrent maintenance operations from occurring on the new FRU.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a substantial volume capacity and retainable shape is disclosed which includes a cover sheet, an absorbent core, and a multi-layered moisture barrier laminate including a polymeric foam layer and at least one thermally bonded layer. Also, elastic members are attached to longitudinal sides of the article to form a cup-shaped article which has a cupping strength of about 30 grams to about 90 grams.
